ABSTRACT
Pierre F. Saldinger, Leslie H. Blumgart Scope of the Problem Surgical relief of obstructive jaundice is indicated in benign as well as malignant
strictures of the bile ducts and less frequently for stone disease. Benign strictures are most commonly seen after injury to the common hepatic duct during cholecystec tomy. A biliodigestive anastomosis of a jejunal Roux-en-Y loop to normal extrahepatic bile duct and proximal to the stricture provides the best results in these cases.
